    Interesting thought...you buy silver when it is $18/oz and sell it at $25 when it is $28/oz...you've made money and sold it BELOW spot...hmmm

    During the big bubble in 2011-2012, I bought quite a bit "below melt". The sellers didn't care, as they were still quintupling (or more) their money from a few years previous.

    The address means nothing. Some of these scammers use the name or logo of legit dealers in their adds. It could be a real address but, it doesn't it's theirs. Remember if the deal sounds too good to be true it likely isn't a good deal.

    Site registers to a Moroccan named Oualid Dnaya. Numerous complaints alleging complete fraud, i.e. fakes made in China.

    I bought from Ranthy and I've had the coins inspected by a well known trusted coin dealer and they ARE legit
    There's also a half dozen other " scam alert" sites that also say the company is for real
    Phone number is an overseas number but the coins came from New York and they don't respond to emails
    I find that weird and was concerned but turns out they are real and I'm buying more

    WELCOME RUBIO
    Post up your results.
    XRF scan?
    Weight?
    Diameter and thickness.
    Picture with another known ( verified ) same coin.
    I know someone who bought silver eagles online ( not this particular vendor)
    from Canada and New York, both were fakes...one even shipped in the white china package.
    Some looked pretty good others Bad.
    Some stuck to a magnet right away and some didn't munipulate like silver with a strong magnet.
    Weight was close.
    Other problems include thickness and diameter.

    I think Rubio -- who joined our esteemed forum at 5:40 AM just this morning :D -- is off joining another website that has doubts about the site.:D

    I'm not a robot I'm also not going to kowtow to any of you
    I shared my experience and if you choose not to believe it that's your prerogative
    I figure either you are a group of naysayers who get off on putting people down or you are secretly hoping everyone believes your rhetoric so you can score these coins cheap yourselves
    You want weights and thickness and blah blah blah would you also like the guys name phone number and where he went to school
    Oh and I'm up at 530 to get ready for work because I don't live in my mom's basement

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    You're claiming that you can buy ASEs well below spot. That's extraordinary.

    Some places will let you buy below spot or cost but mostly to get you hooked so they can sell you more expensive marked-up stuff later on.

    New member + immediately over-the-top, defensive post, complete with broad personal attacks = definite scam.

    The only other explanation is you honestly bought some of those for yourself and don't want to entertain the uncomfortable reality that they might (probably) be fakes.

    Expect that anyone paying attention to Silver Eagles, which typically have a ~30% mark-up now, will be extremely skeptical when anyone is offering them below spot. Dealers can't even get them wholesale for spot. Skepticism is a completely normal and rational response.

    So, please do kowtow to us and post pictures so we can see from our respective moms' basements what you bought. I just might be persuaded to spend my allowance on some if Mom says it's OK.
